many awards, has been continuing his works in his studio in Istanbul for 11 years. He
has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Turkey and abroad.

production errors, contrasts and childhood together with porcelain.
"Production errors, contrasts, the language of my childhood and discipline guide my
work. To reach contemporary and original results from the infinite alternatives of
form, texture and colours offered by ceramics requires a disciplined work. Inspiration
in art is nothing but the high concentration that can come with such a work."
